This thread gloating about it does nothing to allay my personal discomfort about the lack of quality (and by this I mean consistency, not high/low quality) wrt moderation on this site.
Singling out a member and publicising the moderator action in this way smacks of making an example out of someone.
Frankly, whilst the 'waste-of'space thread was pointless, it wasn't banning material - let alone justify a moderator flaming a member (who can't even respond dure to that mod's ban) on a public forum.
I have nothing against you personally J-Golden, but this action (the ban) appears hot-headed and capricious, and this thread just seems to be kicking a man when he's down.

PS - Before I also get banned for discussing/criticising a moderator decision in a public forum, consider the OP and the Topic.
